Thursday, July 9, 2009 at 9:40PM An 11-year-old kid straight outta Illinois named Owen Voorhees (nephew of Jason?) developed his very own iPhone application called MathTime.
Wow!...
My money says these kids will soon develop an app to rule the world and enslave us all before they are 21. Just sayin’…

You heard that right. Owen Voorhees, an 11 year old, developed an iPhone application along the old flash card math “mad minute” drill idea. Not only is Own learning a new skill, but he’s learning to run his own business and making a little money off of his time and energy.
Way to go, Owen!!!
We need more kids like Owen, and more parents like his Dad encouraging such ambition.

If you’ve got an iPhone, there’s no doubt you’ve discovered the addictive world of iPhone apps. From the teensy versions of Sim City and Scrabble to the bizarre Photoshop-esque Face Melter to Twitterific (one of the many apps that lets us Twitter addicts keep an eye on our streams at all times), there’s an app for every person and every purpose. But have you ever tried to build one yourself?
It may seem like the sort of challenge that only an ultra-tech savvy genius could accomplish, but you might be surprised to learn that one of the online store’s bestselling apps was created by someone who’s still years away from high school, let alone an illustrious job in Sillicon Valley: 11-year-old Owen Voorhees.

Excerpt from transcript of July 2, 2009 Rush Limbaugh Show:
RUSH: Here is an amazing story, and I want to share the details of this story with you, within the context that Obama is saying, that government's going to mandate the invention of solar power and wind power. All these new green technologies, all this magical new energy, Washington and Obama are just going to dictate, just going to say, "Go do it," and it will happen. And, of course, that's not how things happen. This is a story of 11-year-old Owen Voorhees. "[F]or the last nine months he climbed a mountain of doubt, overcame unfamiliar programming languages and poured over college-level computer science textbooks -- all to develop his very own iPhone application. Last month, his app, MathTime, debuted in the App Store [at iTunes] and quickly rose to No. 13 in the paid, educational apps section.

Owen Voorhees may seem to be an unlikely tech entrepreneur, because he's just 11. But for the past nine months, he climbed a mountain of self and parental doubt, overcame unfamiliar programming languages, and pored over college-level computer science textbooks--all to develop his own iPhone application. Last month, his app, MathTime, debuted in the App Store and quickly rose to No. 13 in the paid, educational apps section.
